The United States and United Kingdom have announced new sanctions on Wednesday aimed at Russian oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Roman Abramovich, targeting the financial networks of two of Moscow’s wealthiest businessmen who are close allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
US officials said the new designations, which were coordinated with the British government, aimed to reinforce existing penalties and further disrupt Russia’s importation of critical technologies used in its war against Ukraine.
